The old name used historically was actually the 'man-eater' shark. The confusion is some other shark species are referred to as a man eater at various times. However the white shark was actually called the 'man-eater shark'.
This name was felt to give them a bad image, and many others felt was undeserved. So it started being referred to as the great shark, great white shark, and great blue shark.
Great white is the one that appears to have stuck.
